One of the biggest matches in the Premier League this weekend will take place at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday. Bournemouth will have the home advantage, while Leeds United will desperately be hoping to end a four-game winless sequence.
Premier League
This weekend could be a pivotal one in the battle to avoid relegation, as many of the teams around the bottom six clash. Leeds United have looked doomed based on their recent displays, as they have been conceding goals at an alarming rate. The Whites were at least able to end their three-game losing run in midweek, but they were extremely fortune against Leicester City at Elland Road.
The Foxes were the better team throughout the fixture, but Leeds held on to a point. Despite being second-best, Leeds probably should have won the match but Patrick Bamford missed a glorious chance from point-blank range in the final ten minutes. The draw means that Leeds sit just a point above the bottom three places, and they have won just once across their last six.

Bournemouth aren’t completely out of trouble at this stage of the season, as they currently sit four points above the drop zone. However, that advantage could be widened if they are able to collect maximum points against Southampton on Thursday evening. The Cherries have been one of the surprises in recent weeks, as they recorded three wins from four to move out of the bottom three.
However, that strong run was brought to an end in their previous home match, as they were easily beaten by West Ham United. Home advantage could once again be key this weekend, but they will be hoping for a much better performance than they managed against the Hammers.
Bournemouth vs Leeds Head to Head
Leeds has a strong recent record in this fixture, as they have picked up four wins from the previous five matches. That includes a dramatic 4-3 win earlier in the season at Elland Road. They also picked up a 3-1 win on their previous visit to Bournemouth, but that success came back in September 2014.
Bournemouth vs Leeds Prediction
There will be tension around the Vitality Stadium on Sunday, as both sides will be chasing maximum points. However, we have limited trust in the Leeds defence, meaning that we could see the home side taking maximum points with a 2-0 win.
